- 3 TOP CATS: N0.2 (From "Country Living" Magazine, December 1994) Ginger, the Hardware Store Cat For 15 years Ginger has featured among the taps, pipes and bits and pieces on sale at a family-run "ironmonger's" in Brighton, East Sussex. So popular is this venerable cat that "trippers" to the resort town make special pilgrimages to visit her. When asked by the owner, "who wants serving?", they all say, "Oh, we dont want serving, we've just come to see the cat." Ginger receives goodwill postcards from fans far and wide, including Switzerland, and on the wall of the shop is her greatest tribute of all, a framed poem. Ginger, meanwhile, sits on the mat and watches the world go by. YOUTHFUL DAZE (From Reader's Digest) As a High School teacher, I was marking essay exams on the subject of the Middle Ages when I came across one student's description of medieval cathedrals. It read, "Their high walls were held up by "flying buttocks.'" (Contributed by Lawrence M. Ober) MAKE MY DAY (Anon.) A gentle Quaker, hearing a strange noise in his home one night, got up and discovered a burglar busily at work. He went and got his gun, came back and stood quietly in the doorway. "Friend," he said, "I would do thee no harm for the world, but thou standest where I am about to shoot." Tony Scammell Editor
